No Organization – Not News

If you write by yourself, you aren’t writing news according to Google.

But, it turns out, that Google has a rule about the sites that it includes in Google News: They can’t be one-person operations, and they have to appear to be “organizations.” Never mind solo shops practicing entrepreneurial journalism — Google wants news with overhead!

I’m no Dan Frommer, but someday I might be. Google’s take on News aggregation is definitely not pushing the industry forward.
